Chapter 151 Return to the Opera House III

The tavern in Port-au-Prince, where August sat. Lunch and rum were another day to kill time... Only a month later, he was itchy all over, and always felt his butt bigger and his waist ached.

"Those damn lewd and slutty girls... I should keep Jin and be the first mate for me!" He muttered, thinking about the fact that those who were drunk together yesterday had some truth. Maybe he should really buy a big boat and take a group of people to go out to sea again. The sailors who had served Lu Yuan unconsciously got together again, and then after getting drunk, they began to miss those "good days of the past".

Without it, they are just in a down-and-out situation. When they were on Lu Yuan's ship, they welcomed one victory after another and enjoyed a lot of dividends. At that time, they felt that they were the king of the world! They chose to leave... Isn't it because they valued themselves too high?

Every time they arrive at a port, the sailors of the "Opera" will enjoy a unique treatment - they will be invited by the bar owner to drink, and there will be a large group of sailors around to listen to him brag. There are captains of other boats who secretly contact them, promising high salaries, poaching positions for adjutants, and even free hospitality for prostitutes and girls... What a good life! They were all ruined by their own stupidity!

The young captain who had been watching coldly and was very willing to keep them was the most powerful person in the world! Now, those who had complained about Lu Yuan had already said all the reasons for complaining. Those who had scolded Lu Yuan could no longer express any new ways of cursing. They could gather in Port-au-Prince and ask August for their sailors to truly understand. They were just idiots.

Now, "the gunners in the 'Opera' cannot raise their angles" have become a joke that is popular in various ports. The status of sailors who once worked on the 'Opera' ship has also plummeted and has become synonymous with parallel goods.

On the contrary, several adjutants from the "Opera House" rose.

In the recent battle against pirates and slave ships, Young Jin commanded the "Simon" seven battles and wins seven times, perfectly continuing the anti-slave and anti-pirate tradition of the "Opera" and took over Lu Yuan's banner. Now he is called the "Little Magician". Except for those women, everyone has turned their attention away from his amazing appearance and began to sigh at his strength.

You know, he was only Lu Yuan’s servant in the past, and he was only fourteen years old, so his future was so great!

"Flower" Li Huamei, with only one sword, swept across the British sailors.

"Sirens" Misha and "noble girl" Elizabeth actually drove the French ace warship "Ark Royal" and forcibly "taxed" all ports on the west coast of the Caribbean Sea! This feat is unheard of and shocking the past and present! The strangest thing is that after the taxation, they will hold a grand ladder on the warships and invite all local officials to participate. On the gorgeous "Ark Royal", they not only let these people linger with appropriate etiquette, fashion and food, but also fill their pockets with half of the tax amount, making everyone return satisfied. They legitimately rob the kingdom of money and make their own pockets... This time, tax collection is very popular.

In short, this matter completely turned into a "legendary aristocratic event" rather than a pirate act!

Since most of the ports along Central America are Spanish colonies, why is the French ace warship "Ark Royal" in the hands of the Opera House... This is really hard to explain. The inquiries from opponents and allies made the French Governor anxious.

Of course, what made him most painful was his immediate superior, King Louis XIV of France. He actually sent a public letter from France, first praising the two ladies for their favor for the "Ark Royal" (because "Ark Royal" is the sister ship of the "Sun King", and "Sun King" is Louis XIV's ship, and named after his name "Sun King". Then, openly invited these two "female bandit leaders" to visit his newly built huge palace "Palace of Versailles", and a grand lewd and chaotic ladder climbing will be held at that time... Your sister's love-seeking wife, don't find me the Caribbean!

What made the Spanish Governor LeBron collapse the most was that King Carlos II of Spain did the same stupid thing as Louis XIV of France... because these two unscrupulous girls are now popular in Europe!

Even inside the contractor team, Zhuo Xiaoji, who was originally shy, can now crush the entire Qianlong team in naval battle command (they have never fought a naval battle much), which makes Ye Zi, the protagonist of the special forces background, feel disappointed. However, he is not the most failed contractor... In the "Tearer Team", Gaochuan found that he was driving a ship that was not as good as a parrot... He was immediately hit and was dying of ecstasy, drinking all day long to relieve his sorrows - not to mention Ye Zu's "God. Finish-strike" would definitely make him commit suicide after drinking.

In short, these things made everyone realize that the "Opera" may have gathered a group of talented people; but more likely, it will make people become talented!

So more and more people are focusing on August, who is the only idle character in the "Opera" at home - known as "Highris".

McLaren, who is now a musket officer in the UK, once recruited him with the appointment of a captain. In addition, the local French governor sent people to test it. Recently, even the sailors who worked on the "Opera" ship in the past gathered in Port-au-Prince and came to him collectively, hoping that he could become the boss and take everyone to live a good life again... but he has not made the final decision yet.

After drinking some wine and having lunch, August looked out the window bored.

Then, the black Reginald and the old man Helende sat in front of August again.

August looked at the two people with some mockery, which undoubtedly aroused the anger of the two people, but they all endured it. August's gaze swept over the two people unscrupulously. The vulgar gold chain that Reginald wore last time disappeared, and the gorgeously decorated scimitar disappeared. Old Helen's monocle glasses, pocket watch and kaiseki pipe were also gone.

Obviously, the search for treasure failed, and they lost a lot of money to pay for the expenses throughout the process.

Of course August knew that this was the case when he was the captain.

At the beginning, having your own ship and a group of brothers who believe in you as subordinates is really a great confidence! You will feel that there is nothing in the world that can stump you. But after a while, if you have no income, or fail once or twice, the debt will begin to be on your head like a mountain. The supplies, salary, filling holes after causing trouble, etc. of these brothers become your nightmare... Every day, you have to pay dozens of gold coins for your expenses. That kind of life is like being in hell.

Especially those you treat as your brother’s subordinates.

You cannot squeeze them like ordinary sailors regardless of your affection. On the other hand, they will continue to complain about your attitude and your efforts, which is a disaster. When Reginald waved his hand and hundreds of black people stood up, it was awesome. Looking at him now, you know that he suffered enough.

"How is it? Have you found the treasure left by Captain Lu? You must be here to show off your wealth to me today, right?"

August stabbed their wounds without hesitation. To be honest, after spending a few months with Lu Yuan, August was no longer the simple silly roe deer captain, and he was so dark that he was dying.

As a result, these words hit Reginald's face and drifted gently like a gust of wind, without causing any reaction.

Only see Reginald nodding with a sincere face and admitting his failure without hesitation.

"Yes, I was too stupid before. Obviously, I made the stupidest choice and then lost all the money." His direct admission surprised August. "There was no shipwreck, no treasure... After that, we spent all our money. Everyone said to me, Ray, this is all your idea... No one cares, these are things that everyone agreed at the beginning. This is not my own business!"

The ship was dragged under the water by the big octopus for an hour, and then it was directly drilled through the bottom of the ship by Lu Yuan, and then sank directly into the bottom of the sea after the big octopus died. God knew where the shipwreck would lie, and I'm afraid even Lu Yuan himself would not be able to find it. Besides, he would never expect anyone to disturb Jacques' sleep.

August restrained his smile and looked at the black man in front of him seriously, one of Lu Yuan's former quasi-adjutant. Reginald had a typical African appearance, dark skin, curly hair, simple eyes, thick lips... he looked like a loyal and honest look. I believe that Lu Yuan could accept him at the beginning, and there was also such a factor.

But black people are probably the most loyal crew members in the Caribbean. They are always taciturn and hardworking when they are crew members. But as long as they have a little better condition, they betray and betray them without hesitation. Because there is no sense of honor or other constraints, they think in their hearts that they belong only to themselves.

Reginald was the same, so August was not interested in what he said.

"so?"

"So, we hope you are the captain." Reginald said sincerely, "We provide ships and crew, everything is followed by yours, and the dividend distribution is based on tradition." The so-called traditional means that after the investor takes away the big head, the captain takes away the remaining big head. This distribution method is undoubtedly quite reasonable. The three people here will make a fortune.
